In het diepste geheim - Spionage-operaties van Nederlandse onderzeeboten van 1968 tot 1991
''You must realize that we are sailing as if it were war, '' the commander of a Dutch submarine told his crew in 1983. The six Dutch submarines secretly gathered intelligence on the Soviet navy during the Cold War.
Only a handful of people outside the Royal Navy were aware of these operations, which did not fall under NATO.
"In het diepste geheim" describes these top secret operations extensively and in detail for the first time. Based on interviews and archive research, Jaime Karremann reveals how the Dutch submarines, from the icy Arctic Ocean to the shallow sea area near Egypt, unnoticed, followed Soviet ships, photographed them, listened to them and sometimes approached them to within a meter.
The book is about people, boats and especially about many previously undisclosed undersea adventures. The book reads like a thriller, the tension, fear, failures and successes described are real.
